30 Seeds Golden Currant Ribes aureum Fragrant Yellow Flowers Edible Berry Shrub

Golden Currant is a deciduous shrub native to North America, valued for its clusters of golden-yellow spring flowers and its small, flavorful berries that ripen in summer. It is a versatile and attractive plant suited to a range of garden settings, from wildlife plantings to edible landscapes.

The flowers are fragrant and appear early in the season, followed by berries that can be eaten fresh or used in jams and preserves. The foliage turns warm shades of red and orange in autumn, adding seasonal interest. Its upright, spreading habit makes it useful for hedgerows, borders, and naturalized areas, and it tolerates a variety of soil and moisture conditions once established.
